Corporate Partnerships

Better partnerships. Bigger impact.

Put your company’s resources behind measurable public impact. AFAI partners with companies to fund projects, expand access to technology and infrastructure, contribute expertise, and help locally led ideas become real solutions.

Why partner

The resources to solve important problems already exist. The challenge is getting them into the hands of the people who can put them to work.

Pick your partnership

Start with one project. Grow from there.

Our partnerships can begin with focused support or develop into long-term collaborations. If these models do not match your idea, we still want to hear it.

Strategic Partner

Build an ambitious, long-term partnership capable of creating public impact at scale.

Combine funding, technology, infrastructure, research, expertise, and other resources around a major challenge, geography, or opportunity.

More than a donation

There is no single way to participate.

Companies can bring together funding, technology, computing resources, equipment, infrastructure, expertise, employees, customers, and ideas.

Sponsor Projects

Fund a specific project or portfolio and follow the work from funding through implementation and measurable results.

Provide Compute & Cloud

Contribute GPU capacity, cloud credits, model and API access, storage, hosting, or other computing resources.

Provide Technology & Equipment

Supply computers, networking equipment, connectivity, sensors, devices, software, or laboratory equipment.

Contribute Expertise

Connect engineers, researchers, scientists, designers, product teams, and policy experts with projects that need them.

Fund a Challenge

Support locally led solutions in education, healthcare, clean water, research, connectivity, food security, or another priority.

Engage Employees & Customers

Activate giving, matching, volunteering, technical assistance, checkout campaigns, or a custom participation model.

Bring your strengths

Put what your company does best to work.

Every company has something different to bring. Our job is to help put those resources where they can make a difference.

Technology company

Provide tools a researcher or community organization could not otherwise afford.

Cloud provider

Give a university team the computing power needed to pursue an important discovery.

Telecommunications company

Help connect a community that has been left behind.

Financial institution

Fund entrepreneurs and public-interest projects in the places it serves.

Manufacturer

Contribute equipment that turns a promising plan into practical work.

Professional-services firm

Bring specialized expertise to a project facing a difficult implementation challenge.

For the companies building the future

Help expand who gets to build with it.

Artificial intelligence and advanced computing are creating extraordinary new capabilities, but access to those capabilities is not evenly distributed.

Researchers can have important ideas without the compute to test them. Students can have the talent to build without the tools. Small organizations can understand their communities deeply without having engineering teams.

AFAI invites AI developers, cloud and computing companies, semiconductor companies, data centers, infrastructure providers, telecommunications companies, hardware manufacturers, and the broader technology community to help close that gap.

Follow the impact

A partnership should not end when funding or resources are transferred. We work to document what was supported, where resources went, and what happened.
